""Well if you're so fucking cosmic, you'll know why." One of my favorite John lines of all time. It's just so quintessentially John and it cracks me up.

The Maharishi would have been proficient in Kama (Kundalini)Yoga. For him it would have been entirely consistent with his spiritual tradition to have chosen a disciple for such an introduction (initiation). A local woman would have been honoured with this rare opportunity to enter the path to Enlightenment. Westerners of the 1970s, me included, would have had no knowledge, let alone any experience, of any of this. However, to their credit, they had the sense of honour to disguise his identity.

[@mythos8558]

The Maharishi was nothing more than a grifting sex pest who talked cosmic metaphysical horseshit.

I was 18 when Abbey Road came out. At the time I was an apprentice at British Aerospace in Stevenage. I would not agree it got a lukewarm reception except perhaps by the critics. We loved it. There were two of us apprentices working in the wages department for a couple of weeks. We spent all day every day singing the album from start to finish much to the surprise of the permanent staff there.

[@guitartech-uk]

I Agree, I remember everyone seemed to love the album, the BBC played it on TV with animations, many dj's played it in its entirety, very few if any gave it lukewarm reception, anyone would have been scorned , after one listen most people I knew even classical musicians loved and appreciated it, it was quite diverse with what would become classics as well as comedic songs, I enjoyed the overall video but there seemed to be a few negative remarks creeping in throughout.

[@johnbuckley8724]

Well I disagree, this album had the most filler songs that if they were collaborating better…would never have seen the light of day until Anthology 3. Songs like Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9, Honey Pie and The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill should have been left off. There are a bunch of others that could be in that category.

I don't think the group would have stayed together as long as they did without Ringo. He was the peacemaker, the "glue" holding things together. He had to deal with three conflicting egos all the time, but managed to remain Ringo, just an ordinary bloke in extraordinary circumstances. I always thought he was the coolest Beatle, and I still do. (Peace and love!).☮

5:45 The reason Maharishi didn't want them to leave is Money. In order to be given the personal-chant word that you alone must chant as a part of learning Transcendental Meditation there is a fee. The fee is usually based on the ability to pay. Can't imagine what Maharishi thought the Beatles ought to pay. Probably a substantial amount. When I lived near the Ashram in N.C. I was approached to take a weekend retreat to be taught Transcendental Meditation. The fee for me was $1000. And that was a discounted rate.

[@TheGrouch2000]

Just a small error George turned 25 whilst in India Feb '68. You content is amazing. Subbed.

[@elmolewis9123]

George and John were the impressionable ones of the four, which explains why Paul and Ringo got out quick. I remember at the height of the transcendental meditation thing, a friend and I attended four 1 hour classes, and when leaving after the last day, I pictured my $70 fee flying out of the window.

Sgt Peppers was spectacular. Who knew they had more to come after that? Every band on earth felt it was impossible to out do that I can imagine even The Beatles themselves felt it was going to be quite a feat to out do themselves after that. The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be proved they could. Perfect way to go out as I would think in all logic and reason aside from John wanting to leave they all knew it was becoming impossible to out do themselves anymore. So leave the fans blown away and wanting more. If they had remained together just for the money or to satisfy fans the music could have seriously suffered. They were all at that point so talented they simply didn't need each other anymore to grow.

In turn, the Honey Pie songs and Revolution #9 should've been left off as well as Good Night in it's present form, also left off.

[@johngraves6878]

Very enjoyable and startling information and insights. The Sexy Sadie tie in with the Maharishi sticks in my mind. However, you made no mention of how the so-called Tate-Manson murders played an integral part, in my opinion, in the Beatles break-up. All the establishment had to do was associate bearded hippies and musicians with murder, and the Beatles suddenly felt they had targets on their backs. The post-Manson media terror barrage was devastating. Within a month of the murders, the Beatles started their breakup. I believe the Manson murders were likely a false flag intended to frame and discredit the hippie movement, directed from above by conservative intelligence elements. The youth movement was getting out of control and had to be tamped down.

The Beatles went to see The Maharishi in Bangor who was holding a seminar not long after they had lost Brian Epstein (summer 1967) but prior to recording a batch of new material, including The Fool on the Hill which would appear on the forthcoming EP Magical Mystery Tour. That would tie in.
